Its time to meet your Phage Phriends in Person
Join us on 9th May, Kenya Institute of Primate Research - KIPRE to have more interactions with phage researchers/enthusiasts across #Kenya
In attendance:Dr. Tobi Phages for Global Health,Dr. Atunga Nyachieo, PhD, OGW Angela Makumi, Dr. Musila (@KEMRI_Kenya), Ivy Mutai et al. See you there!😇

From 13C-lignin to 13C-mycelium: Agaricus bisporus uses polymeric lignin as a carbon source

'Agaricus bisporus, the world’s most consumed mushroom, secreted enzymes, depolymerized, and removed lignin to assimilate and metabolize lignin as Carbon source'

📅Tomorrow ‼️

🦠Join us to discover how #bacteria can use pumps to expel #antibiotics from within them and how inhibiting this process can combat multidrug resistance.

Due to the overwhelming response of the community (thanks!), we're extending the abstract submission deadline for #Pseudomonas2024 ! New dates will be announced later this week. Stay tuned and check out our amazing lineup of speakers in the meantime! Microbiology Society #Microbiology

Ever wondered what happened when gut microbes don't get any food? Check out our new preprint on long-term fasting and remodeling of gut microbial and host metabolism with Robin Mesnage and many other great collaborators (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…)!

Call for ideas 😌

I would like to bring to your attention this call for ideas on stewardship programs fit for a low resource setting. Send your thoughts by the deadline, 15 of May. More details in the post below 👇🏼

Share ideas and practical tips on antimicrobial stewardship programmes. Your ideas will inform the development of a framework for implementing antimicrobial stewardship programmes at PHCs.
